Question
The function file_first_chars in python takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file, and returns a string made up of the first character from each line in the file. You may assume there are no blank lines in the file.
Hint: Use a for loop to iterate over the lines of the file and accumulate the string of first characters.
NOTE: Return the function, don't print
For example:
Test | Result |
---|---|
print(file_first_chars("wordlist1.txt")) | hsaem |

Group of answer choices True Falsearrow_forwardPlease follow the instructions The function first_words in python takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file, and returns a list containing the first word from each line of the file. For example, if the file contents are: apples are red bananas are yellow limes are green then the list ["apples", "bananas", "limes"] should be returned.NOTE: You may assume the file will contain no blank lines.BIG HINT: If line is a string representing a line of text (inside of a for loop!), then L = line.split() creates a list of the words in the line. For example: Test Result L = first_words("snakes.txt") print(L) ['Cottonmouth', 'Timber', 'Black', 'Tiger', 'Copperhead', 'Eastern', 'Western', 'Eastern', 'Prairie', 'Mojave']arrow_forward
